Volunteer with a Service Unit
A service unit is a community of volunteers and families in a smaller geographic area usually defined by a cluster of zip codes within a council. The service unit provides a local support system for troops and independent members by facilitating training, mentorship, programs, and product program support.
The Girl Scouts of Western Washington Council is made up of 80 service units. Get involved with your service unit with roles including the ones listed below and more!
